PRAISE CLASSIC

[Baler]

WOOT!
Thank you Project 1999 Staff, So much!

[Eld'n'Ell]

Good stuff.

[kuuky]

Thank you for all your hard work Devs.

[Vega]

Telin is on a rampage! Nice work all.

[tedsternator]

Thanks for the update. Quiver update is the best update. Is there any way we can get a heads on Discord timeframe?

Is it on indefinite hold? Understand if that's the case, just hoping to get an idea if there's any sort of rough ETA or if we should just check back every few months.

[Gorillas]

Tailoring recipes for Wus?

[maximum]

/tells don't appear to be working.

This is great for the EC Spammer(s)

[Raev]

Thankfully my EC mule is L52 :D

Also, tells and /say seem to be somewhat broken in general. I guess that's why the server is going down again.

[Oleris]

eta on server back up?

[Dogma]

3 weeks wasted camping this. 66 elders to finally get... garbage.

[lovecraft]

I applied the patch and then 10 minutes later it looks like the server went down. It doesn't even show up the client launcher list.

[Daldaen]

Venril Sathir should be 3 day respawn and Venril Sathir Remains should be 24~ hour respawn now.

Did that go in and just get missed in the messages?

[Llandris]

Canni 4?
Knight defense skill?

[mastertriad]

Venril Sathir spawn increased from every 7 days to every 3 days. VSR should spawn every day when VS isn't up. :(

[Nilasbik]

no monk weight increase? =(

APRIL 17, 2001

[Cheps]

Well I had just enough time to test my custom helm... and seems it's bugged, hair is coming out of it. I guess hair shouldn't show?

It's helm of the tracker on a ranger human BTW.

[mastertriad]

Square Helm will have velious helm graphics now right? woohooo!!

[slaintemaith]

But are food/drink duration fixed?!?!?

I dont even have those files listed in the UIError text any more.
....Warning: file EQLSUI.xml not found in directory UIFiles

I did have them in my folder that was removed called default_old.
But when I replaced the entirety of the uifiles folder, these are deleted.
I do have the unpatched default_old file... and placed it in the uifiles with no luck.
Im thinking of copying all the missing files that are within default_old and adding them to the default file. :confused:

[QFuzzle]

Nice chunk of stuff here. Thank you devs.

soon as I patchted it tells me there there is an error in my Ui files and I cant log in now

[ElemtalRZ]

And yet, my pet can still be feared in pvp with Valiant Companion buff. Good job Dev's thanks for making snakes able to hiss

[NizmerThafen]

Is there any way to maintain the sky we've had for years now? I like the new one, however I would greatly appreciate the option of the other one as well. Any ideas how or what the file name is?

Also, thank you for all the hard work keeping the server up and running.

:rolleyes:

Canni 4?
Knight defense skill?

[Danth]

Knight defense (and Ranger offense, presumably) is still stuck in red at 230. I still find it strange considering that Titanium defaults to the higher, correct value.

Danth

[Sallan]

Amazing patch, thank you so much team

[Slave35]

Holgresh Elder Beads are still dropping? Shouldn't they be out of the game by now?

Haynar: Clients will be hit for max when sitting (again) - Goodbye druid powerleveling

Magi P`tasa may now drop Staff of Elemental Mastery: Earth. - Hello mage epic

Why is this not in patch notes? It's one of the most important things in the patch. Someone just had to spend hours here for nothing. :(

[Deecay]

Are the Lesser(?) Translocate wizard spells active then, Translocate: Fay, Tox, North, Combine and Group?

May 8, 2001
Translocation spells: Five new Wizard 'push' spells have been added
(Translocate: Fay, Tox, North, Combine and Group). Translocate spells
send the group to the location, while the Wizard remains behind.
Translocate Group sends everyone in the group (except the Wizard) to
their own bind points. Translocate Group can be found on NPCs in
Velious (and they won't give them up easily). The others are available
on an exclusive vendor. All Translocate spells (even the original
Translocate) have confirmation boxes that must be accepted before the
target will be sent. And Wizards can no longer Translocate themselves.

[Grandbeard]

I have tried to download the patch, P99Files41.zip but it keeps saying Failed - Network error in Google Chrome. I switched to Edge and was able to download no problem. Not sure why this was a problem for Chrome but I figured I would post the solution.

Well even though it downloaded, it is saying the contents are invalid.

The file size says it is only 166 bytes. Any word on when this will be fixed?

[Symbioticforks]

On red99 when the server first came up after the patch (but still apparently too soon because it was brought down for a few minutes shortly thereafter)

Flowing Thought items were registering with the UI appropriately

then the server went down again.. and came back up again..

And Flowing Thought items were back to registering that they wanted to tick up the correct amount, but would then tick back down to 1 mana per 6 seconds (standing)


whatever you did between bringing the server up initially, and bringing it down again fixed the display error for that time.. can you please get FT to register appropriately in the UI.

THANKS!

[Ele]

Wasnt in the original patch notes. Classic unannounced nerf.

[Alanus]

SoW seems way faster than it did pre-patch

[Bill Tetley]

Warrior Epics can be combined using Swords of Rune. IE you can make both 2h and 1hs without having to repeat blade/hilt portion of quest now.

This is missing from the April patch. :(

[Dolthaic]

Fury of air was noted as being updated as a 250 HP damage in new patch. It now actually heals for 250 HPs. It heals?!? Not sure who needs to address. Was my best nuke, now it is my worst spell (haha).

Bahahaha finally, an NPC heal spell!

Go report it in the bug forum :) You can probably open a new thread for this one.

[Doctor Jeff]

Please: Paladins hit table modified to match that of a warrior.

[Xubazz]

Looking for help with the latest patch. I have downloaded the patch, placed it in my EQemu directory, extracted the files, but once it has extracted files, it still shows the folder as still being compressed/zipped. Any suggestions?

[phacemeltar]

amazing.. did i miss surefall glade portals added?

[mefdinkins]

is Wu's armor in again?

[elwing]

Is the badge of honor in game or does the quest series end at previous badge?

[Sebastionleo]

Why is this not in patch notes? It's one of the most important things in the patch. Someone just had to spend hours here for nothing. :(

I hope everyone realizes he killed a Grand Vizier, which has ALWAYS dropped the Grand Vizier Beads...

The chat says he killed a grand vizier and got the beads, not he killed an elder and got them. As of now it appears elders may still drop beads, and someone is trying to get everybody else to stop camping them.

[nilbog]

no monk weight increase? =(

APRIL 17, 2001

Monk weight allowance has been increased. Every 15 levels monks will get an extra 1 stone weight allowance. The post 50 weight allowance has also been increased by 2 stone.
Level 15, Limit 15
Level 30, Limit 16
Level 45, Limit 17
Level 51, Limit 18
Level 55, Limit 20
Level 60, Limit 24

Hotfixed on both servers.

[nilbog]

Canni 4?
Knight defense skill?

Cannibalize IV should be updated as intended now.
Skill caps are a work in progress as far as I know. There is an issue with applying them properly.

[Hiragawa]

Thanks for the hotfix Nilbog. Much appreciated.

[Baler]

Is this the may 2001 patch for the Coldain Prayer Shawl Quests?
Wasn't a joke. Is this the patch or is that another may patch? :confused:

Also I just noticed they changed the loading art to Velious. Nice!

[Shmokey]

great stuff, thanks for doing this people, love your work! I am really enjoying being back in Norrath after all these years...

[Troxx]

Sorry for the cross-post, just trying to figure out if this was intended. I don't see it in the patch message:

Pre-patch at level 58:
-Lose 100hp, gain 47 mana

Post-patch at level 58
-Lose 74hp, gain 37 mana

Slightly better ratio
Old 0.47 mana per 1 hp
New 0.5 mana per 1 hp

Impact: slightly better ratio (negligible), a lot less fast mana over time if you chain it.

Was this intended?

Canni2 at level 58 is
-Lose 67hp, gain 32 mana (0.48 mana per 1 hp)

[Daldaen]

http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20010417a.html

Cannibalize II and III have had their effects improved. They now return more mana to the caster than they did before.

Shouldn't have been a nerf, should've been an improvement.

[SamwiseRed]

is wus armor in?

[Baa]

Wu armour is in

[SamwiseRed]

Wu armour is in

thanks pal.

[Olif]

Had to copy and paste all the files from the default_old file... into the default file (do not copy over existing files).

Now I have a funky green haze. But working. http://s29.postimg.org/u38hn0f13/p41screen.png

I ran into the same problem as Eld'n'Ell except on a Mac (El Capitan). Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do if I don't have a default_old file? Does this mean I have to reinstall the game?

[radda]

soooo elder beads are gone?

[dbouya]

wow I'm dumb, I thought quivers already gave haste

Cultural smithing is ON!



what got added cultural armor wise? just wu's? or? iksar? hmm?

[Cochonou]

what got added cultural armor wise? just wu's? or? iksar? hmm?

A huge price reduction due to blue diamond no longer being involved in cultural smithing

[Troxx]

Canni 3 has been changed

Pre-patch at level 58:
-Lose 100hp, gain 47 mana

Post-patch at level 58
-Lose 74hp, gain 37 mana

Impact: slightly better ratio (negligible), a lot less fast mana over time if you canni hard. It seems like a borderline nerf but this change was not commented on in the patch notes.

Was this intended?

[Daldaen]

Look at the old spell data, it's posted somewhere on these boards and there was a change to Canni 2 and Canni 3 in the April 2001 patch. But what it was changed to I don't believe is correct.

I can check my 2001 spell.us file when I get home if no one can search the forums for the values.

https://web.archive.org/web/20020305003206/http://eq.castersrealm.com/spells/spell.asp?Id=1199

Self: Convert HP to Mana (75 Hp -> 36 - 38 Mana)

Yep confirmed legit. 75 HP for 38 Mana is classic after April patch. In classic they added Canni4 at the same time as this patch. You should be able to kill WW Dragons for Canni4 now on P99, nilbog confirmed.

[Troxx]

Fantastic, thanks for the info Dald :)

Canni4 should be a lot more common ... price won't be so retarded for long.

[Cochonou]

Look at the old spell data, it's posted somewhere on these boards and there was a change to Canni 2 and Canni 3 in the April 2001 patch. But what it was changed to I don't believe is correct.

an elder holgresh dropped vizier beads for me today....
either nerf was dropped or those beads were added to the table

[Daldaen]

It's possible this was included? 3 days from Sunday would put it spawning today I believe. If it doesn't spawn then yes this wasn't included and really needs to be.

Question for Telin


Telin: Adjusted faction for the following quests: Rat Ears, Gnasher's Head, Gnoll Slayer, Note for Konem, Taxes, The Gnome Take, Miner's Cap, The Tattered Pouch, Rat Patrol, and The Pirate Ship.

Telin: Adjusted faction hits for killing the following: Qeynos Hills guards, Varsoon, Kizdean Gix, orc pawns, a druid, Osargen, Tol Nicelot, Neclo Rhelsar, Purchin Oddsbot, Lashun Novashine, Moodoro Finharn, Guard Carnita, Guard Fernaldo, Dervish Cutthroats, Dorn B'Dynn, Dark Deathsinger, Hadden, Segran Rajhar, Guardian of Takish, pixies, faeries, Greenwhispers and Wintersongs of East Commonlands, and the Millers in Qeynos Hills.

Most people probably don't care, but I love this stuff. Are these changes just to the faction values or? I noticed no difference in the faction hits I took before and after patch for Rat Ears, for instance - and they seem to be correct.

Mostly has to do with correcting the values. I also make any corrections to the wrong factions that I come across. The pirate ship quest for example needed factions added. Also the rat ears quest will now keep track of what you hand rephas instead of eating them.

Awesome! I can't imagine it's easy to get these correct. I usually find next to nothing on values when I do try to do research and wonder how later Allakhazam updates have them - did they add # reveals to the turn-ins and kills post-classic EQ ?

I learned from experimenting that the P99 Wiki #s for quests or mobs were way off, some of Allakhazam too (e.g. Dragoon Szorn in Lesser Faydark does not give the large +/- faction hits here as Allakhazam shows.)

P.S. New classic skies are a dream!

[Necran]

Holgresh Elder Beads are still dropping? Shouldn't they be out of the game by now?


See separate thread and updated Wiki for the item discussing that the beads no longer drop. The patch notes don't seem to reflect this.

[dafier]

Thank you!

[Culkasi]

It's possible this was included? 3 days from Sunday would put it spawning today I believe. If it doesn't spawn then yes this wasn't included and really needs to be.

It doesn't seem it was included, would like to get something offiial on this if possible - thank you

[Culkasi]

7-day VS spawned and was killed today

[Lojik]

Any update on when the April 2001 patch is going in?

It's in, just some things left out like VS spawn

[hammbone]

discord?

[Chrisjones70]

discord please?

[Turp]

Hello ,
Seems they overnerfed giants (probably the rest of the mobs too that got "fixed" aka nerfed) never seen any bug reports on this and can't find any by searching our forums or any forum saying giants should double hit for 100 every time. (the least being 80 dmg , no matter the level or stats on your char)
Are they just letting devs go off their memory now? giants did have big STR and land big hits, but they are currently double hitting for 100 damage. no matter level 30 or 60 no matter the AC, broke something for sure.

Like elament said, got shit backwards it seems.

@Ele you are all about classic , you really think giants should double hit for 100 no matter level or stats . tested the FM giants, the DL giants and the ice giants and all doing the same thing. This is not classic and there was no bug report or proof filed that i can find that warranted this nerf besides IMO a devs memory recalls it. And probably every thing that was buffed this patch is not right if someone goes and checks it.

Thanks for the work and please look into this.

Not limited to
Telin: Increased max damage for Froon, Choon, an ice giant, a sand giant, a spectre, Sandgiant Husam, a hill giant, a cyclops, Broog Bloodbeard, Tarskuk, Guard Fernaldo, and Guard Carnita.
Is same for giants in DL and FM too. They are hitting way harder than they should. If got some proof of this required nerf please direct me to it.
appreciate your time.
charmers use this to your advantage and get some nice XP, since Osargen was nerfed use all the upgraded OP hitters right now because they probably won't change it. sometimes memory fixes are wrong but still can benefit.

PS Telin , wow what a bunch of nerfs.

Hello ,
Seems they overnerfed giants (probably the rest of the mobs too that got "fixed" aka nerfed) never seen any bug reports on this and can't find any by searching our forums or any forum saying giants should double hit for 100 every time. (the least being 80 dmg , no matter the level or stats on your char)
Are they just letting devs go off their memory now? giants did have big STR and land big hits, but they are currently double hitting for 100 damage. no matter level 30 or 60 no matter the AC, broke something for sure.

Like elament said, got shit backwards it seems.

@Ele you are all about classic , you really think giants should double hit for 100 no matter level or stats . tested the FM giants, the DL giants and the ice giants and all doing the same thing.

Trying to download the patch itself, but it constantly fails to finish for some reason, and the ZIP is corrupt. Is there any particular fix for this?

It may be your AV is flagging a .DLL file as a virus.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you get everything into the eq folder. I've noticed sometimes if I do an extract it dumps part of it outside the eq folder and I've got to manually drag and drop the files and replace. I've had this happen a few times and it's always been the source of that issue for me.

It was his anti-virus instantly deleting the Dsetup.dll or whatever it is. Once he turned off his anti-virus, he downloaded the patch and replaced it. It worked :P

Thanks! :D

Ah yeah, that happens too lol. Just make sure you ignore the file and the folder or it'll just happen again in the future. Norton seems particularly annoying in that respect.

McAfee also seems to keep removing this file. I have to turn it off, double click my desktop icon, then turn it back on and the game runs normally. :)

I don't think this works? I been thirsty many times and always get food, and the other way around too.
